Transformation Continuing
We are placed In Christ.
God's holy people {Ephesians 1 V 1} can also be translated 'The Saints" which means those set apart. It is related to sanctified, which means 'Set Apart'. When the sinner trusts Jesus Christ as their Savior, they are taken out of 'the world' and placed 'IN Christ'. The believer is in the world physically but not in the world Spiritually.
John 17 Verse 14 to 16:
Ephesians 1 Verse 3: "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ".
Every Spiritual blessing, {real wealth} is in the heavenly realms. The Christian really operates in two spheres, the human and the divine, the earthly and the heavenly, the visible and invisible. Physically, we are on the earth in the human body, but spiritually we are seated with Christ in the heavenly sphere and this heavenly sphere that provides the power and direction for the earthly walk.
Ephesians 1 Verse 11 and 12: In Christ we have a wonderful inheritance {1 Peter 1 Verses 1 to 4} and in Christ we are an inheritance. We are valuable to Him. Think of the price God paid to purchase us and make us apart of Hi inheritance!
God The Son is The Fathers love gift to us, and we are The Fathers love gift to His Son. John 17 verse 11:
"I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You Holy Father, protect them by Your name that You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are one".
A great value has been placed on us and The Apostle Paul is saying in Ephesians; "God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask, or think and believe".
We are set apart, set apart, to attempt and achieve great things in The Name of Our God Who loves us
God Bless
